Australian Landscapes Definitive Series

Australia · 1973 · 1c

This definitive stamp features an Aboriginal rock painting from Nourlangie Rock in what is now Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory. The design, by artist John Mason, highlights the rich indigenous heritage and unique natural landscapes of Australia. It was the lowest denomination in a comprehensive series showcasing diverse scenery from across the country.

Issued in 1973, this series replaced the long-running Queen Elizabeth II definitives, reflecting a growing national identity and appreciation for Australia's own natural and cultural heritage.
